FEARS OF TRE CHOLERA.
What the Health COmmissiOner OF
Chicago says upon the Subject.


CHICAGO, Sept. 24.-In speaking OF the Asiatic
Cholera In quarantine at New York, Health CON-
missioner DeWoif said last night: 'This informa-
tiOn is very interesting to us II read aright But
do not need TO be alarmed about any Immediate
danger this country. The great danger from
such cases. The clothing, freight and all the
enect or this vessel as we'll as all persons on
board, Will be thoroughly diSinfected. There will
not be the least possibility OF any cases arising
from II. Where fear trouble Is from the follow
Ing source: The summer clothing which may be
packed in the infected districts in Europe may be
sent over TO this country In a ship that would
have no case OF cholera aboard TO cause any atten-
ton to be paid 10 disinfecting. They left until
spring and then opened In short time the
whole country Is alarmed with new cases OF
cholera arising apparently without cause. In
1873 there were three OF this kind where the
Clothing that had been packed in the fall in the
Old country was opened here There can be no
effects OF this epidemic In Chicago this fall II is
too late In the season; cholera germs cannot have
any results In cold weather. Yes, really have
some Tears for next spring, not particularly Tor
this city, but the whole country at large"

representation OF the committee present Mr.. e.
Kurtz johnson, the chairman Of the committee,
presided, and MIR. Frank B. Noyes was secretary.
Col Berret and MIR. Kilbourn, OF the executive
committee. were present, and there was general
interchange OF views in regard to the best plan Of
work. There was great interest manifested, and
the opinion was expressed that all the funds
needed would promptly be subscribed. Owing to
the TACT that the arrangements had not been SUM-
clently perfected to form an idea OF the amount Of
money needed, Col Berret was unable to give any
estimate. 1t was thought that probably SIC, 600
would be required. The chairman was, by reSolu-
t1on, requested to furnish each member OF the
committee with subscription-book, and to place
one In each OF the Offices OF the daily papers. in
Wlllards Hotel, and at any other points which he
may deem proper. 1t was stated that owing to
the limited tlme allowed for completing the ar
rangements, that collectors would be expected to
receive the money when the subscription is made.
The committee intended to do strictly cash busi-
ness. The next meeting OF the committee win be
held at Wizards Wednesday evening.

Mr. G. g. Moore, the chairman Of the civic por-
ton OF the parade, states that he hopes to make

press companies, the trades associations, and

par excellence In the courts there nearly, II
not quite. 100 default cases to be heard by five
judges. Two OF them, Judges Shepard and jamie
sou, Will begin work at 9 O'Clock this morning
This is the largest number of divorce set
for hearing Ia one day In this and shows that
the reputation or Chicago as a divorce headQuar-
tiers Is Dy no means falling on The cause OF this
number Is owing partly 10 the material growth OF
population, and partly also to the fact that the
Judges this year kept their vacation religiousiy.
and declined TO hear any but urgent matters.
Judge Collins appears to be the most popular, as
he mas thirty-one cases on his calendar. Judge
Horton comes next With 20. Judge Shepard has

been stopped by the Commissioners, and INFORM
ing them that the Sunday services would be held
